Plan your trip

Singapore is much more than the sum of its numerous attractions. It’s constantly evolving, reinventing, and reimagining itself, with people who are passionate about creating new possibilities. It’s where foodies, explorers, collectors, action seekers, culture shapers, and socialisers meet―and new experiences are created every day. Please visit the Official Singapore Guide for more information on planning your trip.

The currency used in Singapore is Singapore dollars. Credit cards are commonly accepted, however it is advisable for visitors to carry some cash for payments like train fees, bus fares and other small purchases.
